Chapter 883: The White Moonlight in His Heart 13
Tanishui Castle was the hardest hit city, but some of the surrounding cities were also affected.
More than half of the residents in the vicinity of the flooded area of the Qingyuan River were affected. It had not been a few days since the Qingyuan River burst its banks, but the matter immediately attracted the attention of the imperial court.
Although the current emperor is a person who is greedy for pleasure, he has always attached great importance to the issue of people's livelihood.
Love to play and love to play, national affairs still need to be worried, and you can't let the ancestral foundation be ruined in your own hands and end up infamous through the ages.
However, in the past, the pleasure was too long, and the accumulation in old age became a bad disease.
Now the emperor's body is too weak, he is out of breath when he gets up early and walks to the court, and the energy that can be allocated to major national affairs is limited, and he has more than enough energy but not enough strength.
Now he has gradually delegated power and handed over many things to Lou Yunsheng to deal with.
The reason why he chose to let Lou Yunsheng go for this disaster relief was because he wanted to experience his son's ability.
The second is to let Lou Yunsheng use this disaster relief matter to accumulate the prestige of the people.
Ability, prestige, these are essential for a monarch.
Of course, Lou Yunsheng knew his father's good intentions, and he was very excited on the way home.
Because he understands what it means for the emperor to hand over this task to himself without saying a word.
If he can successfully complete the disaster relief on this trip, I believe that it will not be long before Lan Tingguo will re-establish the crown prince.
Although the current emperor is longitudinal, there are countless beauties in the harem. But I don't know if this has caused damage in some aspects, so the number of emperor's heirs is not large.
He had two daughters and six sons.
Two of their sons died shortly after they were born.
The eldest son, the former crown prince, had been imprisoned for treason and later committed suicide in prison.
However, Yu Muhuai knew that the former prince did not really commit suicide, but was murdered by someone sent by Lou Yunsheng, and then disguised as a suicide scene.
Because the emperor was extremely disappointed in this eldest son, thinking that he wanted to kill his own life and then seek the throne, he hated him very much, and did not investigate the real reason for the death of the eldest son at all.
In addition to the youngest son, that is, the sixth prince Lou Yunsheng, there are also three princes and five princes.
Among them, the third prince is playful, and the fifth prince has a cowardly personality, and both of them are embarrassed by heavy responsibilities.
Now that the situation in the government and the opposition is becoming clearer and clearer, everyone has tacitly agreed that the one who can bear the burden of the prince is basically Lou Yunsheng.
There are still some things that people dare to think and say......
Today's saint is not in good health, and ordinary courts are struggling, and Lou Yunsheng may not only be the crown prince in the future, but more likely to be the supreme throne.
The emperor was also forced to be helpless, and among the remaining three sons, Lou Yunsheng had the talent to govern the country.
However, Lou Yunsheng's background is his biggest shortcoming, his mother is humble, and it is likely that some people will attack him in the future.
Therefore, now Lou Yunsheng must do as much as possible to do something good for the people's livelihood and do more practical things in government affairs, which can help him consolidate his position in the future.
For a long time, Lou Yunsheng has been quite dissatisfied with his father.
Since he was a child in the palace, he was humiliated because he was not favored.
Several other brothers and sisters are unhappy with him, and any descendant of the prince and minister can bully him.
The palace said that it was not big, and it was not small, but after all, this was the emperor's territory, and Lou Yunsheng would never believe it if he didn't know about it.
But the emperor knew but didn't react, which was actually equivalent to connivance.
Including sending him to Chen Guo as the crown prince in the future, it shows that the emperor's attitude towards his youngest son is actually dispensable.
It is impossible for Lou Yunsheng not to have a grudge against this father.
But since the death of the former crown prince, the emperor seems to have aged by more than ten years overnight.
The things I used to love a lot less are gone.
The emperor began to pay attention to self-cultivation and conditioning his body.
But it was too late.
Many of his bodily functions have been irreversibly damaged, and there are too many bad habits in the past, including indulgence, alcoholism, staying up all night, overeating, taking pills, etc....
The elixirs of this era are all deceptive tricks.
It is nothing more than adding some chemicals with extremely high mercury content, putting them in the Dan furnace and baking them to make a small poison pill with no low toxicity.
The emperor ignored these poisons, he only wanted to believe that the pill could live a long life.
But not only did he not live a long life, but he was already terminally ill.
may be because he feels that his life is coming to an end, so the emperor has seen a lot of things.
One of the most obvious changes is his attitude towards Lou Yunsheng.
Lou Yunsheng originally thought that he would resent the emperor for the rest of his life, and even killed him in the end to seize the throne.
But after receiving the emperor's overtures, Lou Yunsheng's resentment was much less.
He would not fully forgive his father for turning a deaf ear to him, but he had given up the idea of murdering him.
Human feelings are really one of the most complicated things in the world.
Not only family affection, but also love.
Lou Yunsheng finally figured out the family affection, but he couldn't understand love anymore.
The last time I went out for a month, after coming back, both women changed.
This time I went to Gushui City for disaster relief, and I don't know how long it will take.
So Lou Yunsheng decided to bring both women with him.
Until she got into the carriage to Gushui City, Yu Wenxue was in a state of some confusion.
In the past, no matter where Lou Yunsheng went, at most he sent someone to tell him, and sometimes he couldn't even say it.
At that time, she could only wait in the courtyard like a deep resentful woman.
This is the first time that Lou Yunsheng has taken her with him when he goes out on official business.
And the reason given by Duanwang is very sufficient.
Concerned about the affected people, the princess felt very sad, so she wanted to set an example and offered to prepare to go to Gushui City in person, and to do her best to help the people.
The emperor agreed.
Now that the emperor has spoken, Yu Wenxue must follow.
Although she didn't come up with any of these nonsense ideas at all.
She didn't even know where Gushui City was or what the flood looked like.
So this princess, who was unfamiliar with the world since she was a child, was deceived by Lou Yunsheng to the disaster area.
As for Yu Muhuai.
Her current identity is Lou Yunsheng's subordinate, and she can only obey her fate wherever the master tells her to go.
In the previous life, Zhong Ci and Yu Wenxue also went to Gushui City with Lou Yunsheng.
At that time, the three of them were already in a state of abuse all day long.
Yu Wenxue wanted to escape, but Lou Yunsheng refused to let her, so he simply forced her to go to Gushui City together.
This trip was supposed to be an official job for flood control and disaster relief, but it was vividly interpreted by the three of them into a greasy sadomasochistic relationship.
